Anyone who has any symptoms of the virus or has had contact with the virus are not permitted to enter the building.
There will be a maximum of 50 patrons allowed into the hall at any given time. This will be a first come first serve procedure.
All customers will be asked for their name and telephone number for any potential contact tracing that may need to be done.
The door by the Concession/Charity Station will be designated as an entrance while the other 2 doors will be designated as exits.
Smoking will only be permitted out the 2 exit doors. There will be no smoking near the entrance door.
Blue Sky Bingo has been closed to its patrons since March 17.
